Featured reviews
The movie was good. A woman living with her husband and having friends in the neighborhood starts to notice something suspicious about their newly arrived neighbor. Determined to uncover the truth, she digs deeper and finds herself entangled in a mysterious situation. Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph delivered outstanding performances, bringing their characters to life with great depth and nuance. The film is filled with unexpected twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. However, at times, the music felt somewhat cartoonish, which, in my opinion, detracted from the overall thrill and suspense of the film. Despite this, I couldn't find any other negatives. It's a nice movie with a captivating storyline and excellent acting.
- 'Sookshma Darshini' directed by MC Jithin starring Basil Joseph and Nazriya Fahadh is a well executed thriller that keeps you hooked until the climax. It has a very interesting plot and the best part of the film is how it is made , the technical aspects of the film were top notch. Loved the direction by MC Jithin , lot's of attention to detail, he utilises every character and every plot points and gives them a conclusion at the end. The background score by Christo Xavier is brillaint , the score added a mystery and curios vibe to the film and further enchanced it's thrills. The editing by Chaman Chakko is also a standout with lot's of unique transitions and seamless editing. Finally the performers on the screen ; Basil Joseph and Nazriya has done an excellent job with their characters. Hat's off to Basil Joseph for playing a very different character and Nazriya for selecting good scripts. The performances by Akhila Bargavan, Pooja Mohanraj, Deepak Parambol and Merin Phillip was also great. Overall the film is suspenseful and entertaining at the same time and it is a perfect blend of mystery and comedy. Good watch.
A Fantasticalay written screenplay of a much regressive story... The credit for such a movie goes to keep it more guessing till the end which the director has done phenomenonaly.. What more is this thriller does not fall into any particular category or comedy or serious or no police investigation... But it is a crime thriller which is the beauty of such a movie.. But as a crime thriller story enthusiast i was able to guess it in last 20 mins... Till then it was truly mysterious and enjoyable.. Nazriya is an acting and expression queen of malayalam cinema absolutely fitting her stature and right choice of movie for her and the director... Basil Joseph is growing as most bankable actor and such a portrayal of his character with ease.. The supporting characters of Nazriyas friends has done a fantastic work.. Overall an enjoyable thriller though in current progressive world this looks a more regressive story deep rooted in old beliefs and faith which can be cons for this movie..
The screenwriting's ability to craft and sustain suspense, particularly during pivotal moments in the script, is remarkable and shall serve as a valuable lesson for aspiring writers.
Aside from the initial thirty minutes, the story captivates with consistent developments in the plot.
Whether it's the characters getting involved in a game of cat and mouse or some significant revelations that propel the story forward, the movie tend to excel at keeping our attention in check the whole time.
Having said that, I would have preferred a darker tone. The subject matter tackled is quite sensitive and calls for a more serious approach.
While I liked the overall story, the inclusion of humorous elements, even if they lean towards the dark side, felt misplaced given the weight of the themes being addressed over here.

A must-watch thriller with a unique touch! Basil impresses with his distinct acting, and Nazriya delivers a balanced, natural performance without overacting. All the actors have performed exceptionally well, adding depth to the story. The movie stands out with its stunning green visuals, superb locations, and an unexpected twist that keeps you hooked. While the screenplay has a slight lag in pacing, it doesn't overshadow the overall experience. The direction, combined with the atmospheric setting and engaging plot, creates a captivating cinematic journey. The film's fresh storytelling and compelling performances make it a memorable watch for thriller lovers.
